The effect of Nd2O3 content on the properties and structure of Nd3+ doped TeO2–MgO–Na2O- glass

Understanding the influence of rare-earth ions (REIs) in tellurite glass is crucial for the development of efficient solid state laser. In this work, tellurite glasses containing Nd2O3 (0–2.0 mol%) were prepared via melt-quenching method to unveil the effect of different Nd3+composition in the envir...
